Congratulations!
I'm happy you got it squared away, but that part about thanking the governor made me throw up in my mouth a little.
Well, let me put it this way. My crime never stopped me from buying guns for 32 years, it never affected my ability to earn a living, and do exactly what I wanted to do. Unlike everyone else at the hearing, I didn’t find god. So, my reason for wanting a pardon.........the truth, which I said.....I’m unable to do the things I’ve always taken for granted in life, and have done. Namely........having a legal right to own guns. So, based on my truthful statement I didn’t really think he would sign a pardon for me. And, I was OK if he didn’t. I said all that at the hearing. I didn’t grovel, I was somewhat emotional, and shaking, but my story and my reasons were totally different than most everyone else. I also said, Guns are a four letter word in today’s society, I realize that, and they certainly aren’t solving any of today’s social issues.........are they? I couldn’t make up some fake reason for why I wanted a pardon, like I’ve found god, or I want a different job and can’t get it. Believe me, for me, I had an easier time swallowing and stating the truth. I was grateful, and I always will be to Governor Wolf. He didn’t have to sign my pardon, he could have easily said......No guns! So maybe I have a better grasp of his fairness than most people who think he’s only about taking guns away from people.
Many people told me, don’t use that as a reason, you’ll lose. But, it was the only truth I had, and I didn’t see a reason to say otherwise even if he refused to sign it for that reason alone. Thanks, I quoted the wrong person, but thank you too! 😊
CONGRATS! Gotta be some white privilege involved;-)
That’s great. I’m happy for you. I think it’s great that Wolf did this and awesome that he did it knowing why you were wanting it.
That said, I will never support Wolf or any Democrats for anything as Democrats are now communist and anti America. The old democrats who only half hated America are long gone.
Keep America Great 2020MD
